HÀ NỘI — The New Zealand Embassy in Việt Nam has launched a logo competition as part of activities to kick off the 45^th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Việt Nam and New Zealand in 2020.

The competition calls for entrants to design a creative logo that represents the countries' strong bilateral relationship. It should display innovative and modern design styles with clear shapes and colour.
